D'hys watched with some amusement as a girl -- possibly a new Candidate but it wasn't like he knew all the drudges by face either -- snooped around the entrance to the Hatching Ground. When she finally managed to get the door open, he decided she was a new Candidate, since everyone else would know better than to go on the Sands without permission. He knew some of the weyrbrats still dared one another to do it, especially when Aradissicath was on the Sands since her reputation made it all the more daring to approach, but this didn't seem to be the case.
He waited until she entered and then followed, casually leaning on the door frame as he called out, "Aradissicath has been known to eat curious Candidates that get too close without permission, you know." It wasn't true, of course, and in fact, there weren't even any eggs on the Sands right then. Maybe he'd get around to telling that to the girl eventually but, for the moment, he was more interested in her reaction and finding out who she was.
